About the Author:

     John Reese studied Native American studies, ancient history and archaeology while attending Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.  While at Montana State, he was selected into advanced archaeology and went on to become an archaeological field supervisor for the university.  John has spent decades studying the various time periods throughout the evolution of Earth.  His focus is primarily on the time period after the K-Pg extinction event (around 65 million years ago) which wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs.  

     What types of creatures survived this extinction event?  With the larger species wiped out, what species would evolve to fill the niche vacated by the mass extinction?  How did certain species evolve over millions of years?  Why did numerous organisms rule the food chain for millennium and then vanish? 

     Plenty of species flourished in the absence of the large predators and countless ruled Earth for millions of years.  Most traveled down evolutionary dead ends until being replaced by smarter and faster species.  The evolution of the creodonts, the artiodactyls, the proboscideans, and some modern mammals of today are explored in his work. 

     In Extinctus, planet Earth remains the same—like a snapshot in time.  Each time period travelled to replicates the climate, environmental conditions and species present at that moment in time.

     How would modern day humans fit into this hostile world? Earth was a very hostile and very dangerous place for millions of years.  Extinctus brings to life the evolutionary plight of the mammals as they re-populate the Earth after the disappearance of the dinosaurs.  Six humans must survive harsh elements and fierce predators as they try to adapt to their new surroundings. 

     Can the humans with the aide of super creatures called Light Extinctos save Homo sapiens, or will the human race be eliminated or altered forever?
